so a buddy sent me to a link about someone using some old Nixie tubes to make a clock... and it looks like a really cool project...
if ya dont know a nixie tube is an old vacume tube from the 50s and 60s that was used to display numbers...
here are some pictures of em

anyways ive looked around a bit... and a lot of the kits are pretty expensive and complex... one of the more simple ones and cheaper ones is here
http://www.neonixie.com/nixie-tube-clock-kit-z57xm4d/
but its still $150
so im basically just wondering if anyone else has done a similar project or had some good info or sources on this kinda thing...
